Tim McCarver is absolutely insufferable. You just cannot beat the ESPN team Joe Morgan and John Miller.

Well, in listening to the announcers from other parts of the country on ESPN radio, I can say with authority that the SF Giants-generated announcers (with the exception of the great Vin Scully) are now the best in the business. Jon Miller, Joe Morgan, the great Lon Simmons, Duane Kuiper and Mike Krukow (whom I remember as a raw pitcher-turned-clubhouse commentator in 1989!) are so easy to listen to. And Dave Fleming is really coming along. (Sorry, I never warmed up to Joe "Angel of Death" Angel. He got that name when he teamed with Jon Miller in Baltimore the year the O's lost their first 21 games.)

Ernie Harwell, Jack Buck and the long-time Mets announcer Bob Murphy notwithstanding, of course.
